The Quest for Healthy Savings and a Healthy Lifestyle

Tag Archives: Menu plan Monday

Despite my natural tendency to want to “figure it out later”, I’m back at it with another menu plan for the first week after spring break. We have an unusual number of after-school happenings this week, so I’m keeping it manageable.

Friday –Happy Hour Meal! This is my new take-away idea from our mini-vacation. Our hotel had a happy hour reception with various snacks set out. We were missing our vacation lifestyle so my daughter and I planned our own family “Happy Hour” reception last week. It looks like olives, hummus, something warm like chicken fingers or French bread pizza, fruit, guacamole. Very flexible and fun and it gets the weekend party started. We like to watch a “Tiny House Hunters” as a family while we nibble.

If you ever followed Flylady.net, you know that a ‘God breeze’ is like a bit of Divine inspiration. I have been thinking about how when I am blogging I am so much more accountable with meal planning, and today I had a blog comment from a reader wondering if all was OK because it has been SO long since I wrote.

God breeze.

I need to come back to this blog, for me if no one else!

In the coming weeks, I’ll bring you up to date on what is working for us on the personal finance front, and also what balls have been dropped and need to be reassessed.

Are there topics you particularly enjoy? Let me know. I frequently have written about kids and money, Dave Ramsey, being debt-free, couponing, meal planning and budgeting.

Last week was super busy but now we’re back to normal and I am on a little bit of a mental high. I found out after some tests that I was able to improve my bone density and Vitamin D levels, which had been low. PLUS, about 43 days left of school till Summer Break. Happy all around.

Thursday – Eggs, millet muffins, and fruit. Millet sounds like something that would crack your fillings, doesn’t it? Not at all! While you are checking Jerusalem out of the library, request Super Natural Every Day too.

Friday – Mom’s night off.

Weekend – It’s gardening season for my husband, so on weekends we are tending to eat at home. If anyone has any great weekend-friendly (not too much fussing) recipes, feel free to comment or leave your linked recipe URL below.
